Situated in the heart of Glasgow’s trendy Merchant city, the Trades Hall is one of the most historic buildings in Glasgow.

Its stunning interiors, first class service, award winning catering and completely flexible approach all combine to make the Trades Hall the perfect venue for your celebration. The Hall has a variety of rooms which allow you to be completely flexible – be it 2 or 220 guests. All rooms are licensed for all types of ceremonies including humanist and civil partnerships.

Testimonials

"We had our wedding here on Saturday and it was the most perfect day. All of the staff went above and beyond to ensure all of our guests had a great day. Elaine has been amazing throughout the planning process which meant that it was a stress free experience for us. Louise was super on the day and throughout the evening in ensuring eveeything went smoothly. Our guests commented on the efficiency of the staff during the meal and everyone praised the chef for a beautiful dinner. Wish we could do it all again. Thank you to all of the staff, you were all wonderful"Malcolm and Alyson

"We had our wedding and reception in the Trades Hall on the 13th of August and we couldn't have hoped for a more perfect day. Everything ran so smoothly and that's a credit to Elaine's organisation leading up to the day and the dedication of Elaine and the staff on the day. The meal was excellent and lots of our guests mentioned how much they had enjoyed it.

The venue itself is stunning, we knew it was the one as soon as we viewed it. But the fantastic service we received and the lovely people we worked with really made it the whole package. I would highly recommend!"Steph and Harry

"We had our amazing wedding here on the 9th of July. From the moment we met Elaine and all the rest of the trades hall team we knew that we had found our perfect menu. They accommodated everything we wanted - even when I did get a bit bridezilla! The food was outstanding - everyone has commented on it, the whole day was flawless - we simply could not have asked for anything more from the team at trades hall. I'd highly recommend it!!"

“Dear Elaine, David and I wanted to thank you and all the team for everything you did to make our post wedding party such a success. We and our guests, had a fun time. The venue sells itself but the service the whole team provided added to the "wow" factor. Elaine your ability to translate our loose ideas into a successful evening speaks volumes about your skill and experience.”David and Eileen

"Cris and I would like to thank you for making our wedding a huge success and the most enjoyable day and evening for our guests. We planned and organised this from Spain and didn’t even see The Trades Hall until three weeks before the Wedding. The pictures didn’t do it justice. Booking a wedding whilst living abroad was fairly daunting but all questions were answered quickly and efficiently. Nothing was too much trouble. Everyone made sure that the whole day went without a hitch and did this to perfection. We are truly grateful to all the staff at The Hall from the chefs and kitchen staff to the waiting staff who ensured that our friends and family were looked after. I can only say I can’t recommend them highly enough and wish you all the very best."Aisling and Cris
